Not what the U.S. stands for

May 20, 2013

Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress seem upset about revelations the Internal Revenue Service focused enforcement actions on conservative political groups during the election campaign last......

I feel that media must resist doing any polling on Obama, as if we get negative polling on him, it will prevent our Democrat Party from moving forword. Or at least we won't be able to move forword as quickly as we need. We must prevent the news of Obama Fatigue from getting out to the public....

Veritas, I'm not neglecting your frustration and disgust, but how are the tax laws of this country to be changed to benefit US people and US business in our now global economy?

Because the politicians make those tax laws, they are the first place to make a stink. Supposedly, they have constituencies to answer to (you, me, etc).

I'd say make a case with your elected officials and/or those responsible for codifying tax law (committees, etc) and let them all know that you're not happy with the current situation (to say the least).

Go for it! You'd probably get more traction with the pols than just posting here on little ol' MDN.

And if you've already been hammering on your elected officials, good on ya!

Can you even imagine what its like to be married to one of these lying pieces of dogdoo in the Democratic party..

Clinton lied and Hillary forgave him.. or did she? If any of you out there are married to a Democrat I suggest you dump them quickly. They are being coached by people who cheat and lie on a daily basis.. Now wiener is running for Mayor. Do you suppose is slogan is "be Frank"?

He hasn't done one thing since he took office except cost the taxpayers more money. He has spent more then ANY EVERY President ever before him.. I guess its the money he gives you that keeps you sucking on the Government teat and hoping for more free milk.

What really bothers me is you use our Military as a Front for your scum bag escapades.

Your day will come but probably not soon enough for me. Your a disgrace to the United States of America and to the US Marine Corp!!

"Corporate CEOs are raiding and draining traditional pension plans for millions of workers who are left without their expected and earned pension payments on retirement."

I can go one better than Veritas...

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2013 ? The $19.4 trillion sitting in personal retirement accounts like the 401K may be too tempting an apple for a government that is quite broke, both monetarily and morally. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Richard Cordray recently mentioned these accounts in a recent interview, stating “That’s one of the things we’ve been exploring and are interested in, in terms of whether and what authority we have.”

"This agency, created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank-Act, is very concerned about how safe your retirement savings are."

The White House Visitors Log reveals that President Barack Obama met with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) union boss Colleen Kelley on March 31, 2010—the day before the Inspector General's report says the IRS began its scheme to target tea party and conservative groups.

On yet another occasion, Kelley’s presence at the White House was followed shortly afterwards by the President issuing Executive Order 13522. A presidential directive that gave the anti-Tea Party NTEU — the IRS union — a greater role in the day-to-day operation of the IRS than it had already — which was considerable.

Since the IRS tea party targeting scandal erupted, Kelley has gone quiet.
